as soon as seokmin dropped seungcheol and chan off, jinha immediately started asking questions about when she'll meet them again. they really have an impact on this kid, huh?

but seokmin can't blame her. they really act so caring and friendly to the point that they seem like parents to a child's eyes. maybe jinha thought chan was her mother because his name was awfully close to her real mother's name: lee chanhee, but his motherly instincts contribute to that mom image too.

"samchon, will yunseok be taken by bad guys when he becomes four years old?! like what that bad guy did to me?!" jinha says, taking seokmin's attention. the bad guy she is referring to, is of course, that bitch jia-er. "i want to protect yunseok from them, samchon!"

"no, don't worry," seokmin reassuringly says, glancing once at her to give her a smile. seokmin looks back on the road. "we'll watch over you even closer so you two don't get stolen from us."

"that's nice to hear, samchon!" jinha giggled. seokmin should ask yuju to give him a daughter next. "you know, samchon, when i was in the bad man's house, he was showing me a lot of dangerous toys."

seokmin steps on the brakes, as they reached the lee compound. they waited for the gates to open automatically, then seokmin took yunseok from the baby seat thing yuju bought online. "what kind of dangerous toys?" seokmin furrowed his eyebrows, looking at jinha.

"like guns, and crossbows and things that will hurt you when it hits you! they told me to use it against people who do not have an ability like me," jinha paused, looking at her shoes while thinking. god damn it, why does seokmin not know this? "they said something about following the 'higher-ups' but i don't remember all of it. do you know what it is, samchon?"

"this is news to me, jinha. i'll find out about it." seokmin drove inside the compound once the gates opened. he parked his car in the relatively small parking lot, walking out of the car with yunseok in his arms and jinha holding on to his pants. "let's get you to minseok-samchon, okay?"

"okay!" jinha cheerily responds.

the lees(seokmin included) live in this compound wherein all their houses are close to each other. like a small village with only one street, but there's a parking lot and a clubhouse. the left block consists of seokmin's house, yoon sanha's house(seokmin's cousin, not related to yoon jeonghan), seokmin's parents' house. on the right block: minseok's house, lee minho's (seokmin's younger brother) house, and seokmin's late cousin's house.

seokmin was born in a pretty well-off family. they did not like it when he announced that he wanted to be an idol, instead of being an engineer or something. besides, seokmin sucks at math.

"bye, samchon!" jinha lets go of seokmin's pants, running to minseok's house. he waves at her, smiling for a second before she turned her back at seokmin. the singer went inside his house with yunseok.

"yunseok-ah, where's your mom?" seokmin cooed, dipping his index in yunseok's chubby cheeks, while the little sunshine giggled. "yeah? you know you're cute." seokmin gushed, while looking around the mostly empty house.

"looking for me?" the door opened, and seokmin walks to the foyer. he didn't even realize that he had a big, stupid smile plastered on his face. shit, he's really in love, isn't he? "oh, yunseoookkkkieee!"

yuju took yunseok from his father, playing with their son as seokmin stood in front of the doorway awkwardly. she peppers yunseok's skin with kisses, and seokmin felt his heart getting warm.

"yah." seokmin muttered, pouting at yuju. she chuckled once she noticed his pouty husband, and planted a kiss on his lips. yay! "hey, yuju, do you want to spend some quality time with me tonight?"

the singer's wife furrowed her eyebrows at him, while she ruffled yunseok's curly head of hair. "what kind of quality time?"

"uh, breaking into pledis mafia's old turf?"

"i'm in!" yuju exclaimed, fishing out her phone. "i'm calling minseok. get ready!"

"it says, 'don't enter'." seokmin reads the words written on the yellow tape thing that the police wrapped around pledis mafia's old headquarters. okay, they're doing something illegal but whatever. "right, let's go, yuju."

yuju smirked at her husband, shooting her wire gun upwards. it hits a window, and the claw of the wire gun is stuck on something, preferably an object. yuju pulls the wire a little, to make sure it's safe. "see you up there." the wire gun pulls yuju upward.

seokmim smirked, summoning two katanas. he thrusts both of it on the wall of the building, and he climbed up. once both of his feet are on the blades of the katanas, seokmin jumps. mid-air, he summon two more katanas, and he uses them to climb up to the broken window which yuju used as an entrance.

"you can still fly." yuju commented, looking back at seokmin. she turns around, walking to the door. they were in an office. "eight-floor jump, six-floor climb? quite a sweat, but you still took less than five minutes. you are amazing."

"thanks." seokmin said, trailing behind yuju. yeah, seokmin was impressed at himseld, too. he learned how to climb up walls when hewas an idol, angry mobs of sasaengs follow seokmin around most of the time. "i believe, jia-er's office is the one in the highest floor." both of them trekked upstairs, after seokmin said that.

"they've taken everything. of course they did." yuju looks around jia-er's empty office. seokmin walks towards the shelves, noticing a gap. a suspicious gap. "maybe we could threaten the police?"

"yuju," seokmin warns, making the woman laugh. seokmin shook his head while he smiled. "anyway, i'd like to find out if.."

"if?"

seokmin smirks, placing four of his fingers in the said gap. once his grip was secure, he pulled the shelf sidewards with all his might. yuju chuckled, running over to seokmin to help him pull the shelf aside. "if there's something in here."

pulling the shelf unveiled a secret elevator. neither of them knew where it takes you, but the still rode the lift anyway. seokmin summoned a katana just in case. "oh, it stopped. come on, yuju." seokmin steps out of the elevator. yuju followed.

"bingo."

there were dusty outdated computers everywhere, and a usb on top of one computer. it was a database, undoubtedly—even if the computers are outdated. jia-er won't be fooling seokmin anymore.

yuju plugged the usb into a computer, turned it on and waited for something to come up. before something came up on the computer screen, though, yuju found out formidable information. "yi-eun, jia-er, jinyoung."

seokmin looked at yuju with a confused expression. "what?"

"they're the only people who have touched this usb." yuju states, using her ability once again. what is her ability? psychometry. she can see who touched, came in contact with, or interacted with something or someone just by touching them. "i think this usb contains a contract between the three of them."

"so, jinha—their mission— pledis mafia's true intention for abducting jinha is because they want to help w systems with their mission, to kill the mundane and make the supernaturals take over the world!"

"corr—oh shit, the police is here!"
